WRONG! THERE WAS NO VIABLE PRO-LIFE CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR IN CALIFORNIA. So, whether you like it or not, it is exactly the same thing. They both chose to support the most conservative candidate who could actually WIN - and they both happen to be friends with those candidates (Palin newly befriended Fiorina while Romney has been friends with Whitman for ovr 25 years).

You don't understand the difference. For one thing the Governor's race is between 2 people, there is no pressure to have to vote for anyone other than Poizner. The Senate race is between three people, with 2 of them splitting the conservative vote against a truly radical leftist, decisions have to made, or the leftist waltzes into the win.

Fiorina is merely a last minute endorsement for Palin, weeks before the final vote, after seeing that Devore was not going to beat the pro abortion Campbell.

Romney has orchestrated Whitman's entire entry into the California Governor's race, Romney even bought a home here to operate out of, he is running a master plan, not making a simple endorsement.

Tom McClintock has endorsed Poizner. Poizner is seen as a less pro abortion than Whitman, and generally less liberal.

"But Whitman's claim earned the ire of the California Pro-Life Council, which called her candidacy "unacceptable to millions of California Pro-Life voters. Whitman's position that there should be no limitations on taxpayer funding of abortion is clear repudiation of Ronald Reagan's commitment to the value of individual human lives."
